Our Verdict
A Classic
An instant, hall of fame classic. Although not "perfect", we award our top score only to those games that set the highest standard for quality.
If you’re a long-time Monkey Island fan, it’s worth replaying the Special Edition for the addition of the voice cast alone. If you’ve never played the game before, it’s an affordable and even more rewarding way to experience one of the greatest adventure games of all time. Isn’t it time you learn what all the fuss is about?
